Scribe, it would help us if you included actual proof of them being afk, since what is shown in there seems to be a group picture of those three characters. Also, you are reporting yourself too? That's a bit weird. Please clarify.

Maybe I'm wrong so don't take me too serious, but i dont think Scribe is Theprimefire since you can see the HP and MP are in % instead of actual numbers, and thats how you see it when you are a spectator, correct me if im wrong, i dont do too much pvp xD

Yes, PVP rooms are not always taken "seriously". However there is a big difference between afk / abusing to farm EXP, and going into a pvp room and actually chatting a bit, rather than being bloodthirsty and murdering everyone in sight.

There are often very few players actually playing in the Colosseum, meaning that the competitive spirit has died to a great extent. However it is a convenient place to get together, mess around a bit, fight a little, and unwind and chat. This is very different to "system abuse". I would define system abuse - according to CC's guidelines and common sense - as either:

repeatedly creating / joining pvp rooms just to AFK in them, doing absolutely nothing at all - just being physically away from the game - while farming colosseum EXP. (This is especially bad in a mission room as it makes the team very likely to lose.)

or, farming kills off a "slave" character that just sits there for the sole purpose of giving kills.

Players messing around in a free-for-all room do not violate either of these things.

[Incidental note: the OP is not Theprimefire and isn't reporting him/herself, they are in spectator mode as can be observed from the chat log and their forum-visible character name]

I do, however, believe PvP rooms main purpose is to fight other players, not socializing in the sense you have described. If you want to "mess around," "chill," "chat," etc. you can do so in the Colosseum or Town areas as well, this leaves the PvP areas dedicated to actual fighting other players, as they were intended.

Yes, you would go there for fighting, but not necessarily 24/7 fighting.

I agree that a bunch of players going in and not even using a single ability would be touching on abusive.

What the FFA room does do is provide a much-needed "relaxed environment" for PVP, where you can go away for a couple of minutes to answer the doorbell and not worry about being killed while away, or having to instaleave the room and incur the 10 minute entry penalty (both of which screw the team over in a mission room).

I do not believe that the players' sole intention was to farm colosseum EXP for doing absolutely nothing. If, however, there is clear evidence of this, then it should be reviewed.

This is not even a mission room, and if what they say is true (the person who is reporting is a spectator) he might have joined a room in which they are just socializing while fighting each other (aka a friends room, you can see how the assassin is missing some HP). This is something you can not do in town, and I really doubt they were farming colosseum XP by performing poorly.

If you are a person who enjoys pvp, try to open your own room or join a mission room, and then you'll be sure there will be less/no people afk. And if they are afk, you will have a reason to report them.
